Volunteering with Coordinadora de Barrios
ASOCIACION CULTURAL EUROACCION MURCIA
Coordinadora de Barrios
El Palmar, Murcia, Spain
Description
Volunteer activities will involve 30–38 hours per week. More information about the project can be found at: https://app.smore.com/n/v1jex-volunteering-with-coord-barrios. Completing the online application form available there is strongly recommended to take part in the selection process. The project will take place mainly in Los Rosales, a neighbourhood of El Palmar that has faced significant socioeconomic challenges and social exclusion for many years. Volunteers will support the organisation’s extracurricular educational programme and participate in activities aimed at fostering inclusion and community development. Their main tasks will involve assisting with educational activities and supporting the intervention and supervision of children, young people, and adults at risk of social exclusion, contributing to a positive and inclusive environment for local residents.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will live in a shared flat in the city centre of Murcia with other volunteers. Each volunteer will have a private room to ensure comfort, privacy, and personal space. The coordinating organisation will cover the rent and utility bills throughout the project. In addition, the project provides food support (€184 per month), pocket money (€186 per month), local transport, medical insurance, and travel costs from the volunteer’s place of residence to Cartagena and back, in accordance with the European Solidarity Corps programme rules.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will take part in the On-Arrival Training and Mid-Term Evaluation organised by the Spanish National Agency. These activities are a mandatory part of the European Solidarity Corps programme and provide participants with guidance, support, and opportunities for intercultural learning. They also offer a space to reflect on the volunteering experience, exchange experiences with other volunteers, and assess personal and professional development throughout the project.
Participant profile
This project is open to young people aged 18–30 who have not previously participated in a European Volunteering Service (EVS) or European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering project. Priority will be given to young people with fewer opportunities, particularly those facing geographical, economic, and/or educational barriers. We are looking for open-minded, proactive, and motivated individuals who are willing to share their ideas, contribute to the community, and actively engage in the project. Candidates should feel comfortable working with children and young people in socially vulnerable contexts. A high level of maturity, emotional stability, responsibility, and flexibility is essential, as volunteers will be expected to adapt to different situations and work as part of a diverse team. A genuine commitment to social inclusion, solidarity, and community development will be highly valued.
